The model explores the transition between different parametric facade modules. It does this with three elements: bamboo, fabric, and string. The different variations are achieved by changing the force applied to the bamboo by tightening the string and wrapping the result with fabric. This allows for different facade configurations ranging from more open to more closed systems. There is no incrementation of bamboo, fabric, or strings. The model begins with 4 bamboo sticks, 1 fabric, 4 strings and only involves the interaction between the three elements. Once the strings and fabric are removed, the bamboo goes back to its original shape.
